Re: Extended Idle?
[ QUOTE ]
I'm new here, so forgive me if this has already been addressed. Just preparing for possibilities on long trips. Is there any reason that extended idling would harm the engine? If so, what is the cause and will idling up the engine negate any ill effects. If idling up the engine is the answer, are there devices that contol the idle for the 6.0?
Thanks

This has been covered pretty good. Do a search in this forum on idling. Most people start engine and let run for a minute or two and then drive easy until engine get close to operating temperature. I have an AIC to up the idle to 1,200 RPMs when I do let it idle. I have a remote start and down here in Georgia, I like to start the truck and have the interior starting to cool down before I get into it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif[/img]
